"Knock, knock, knock!"
As soon as the congressman finished speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Enter!"
The councillor frowned slightly and spoke in a short and powerful voice.
The next moment, the office door was pushed open.
Outside the door, Hong Qiming's face flushed slightly, and his eyes flashed with excitement!
"Minister Hong? What happened?" Seeing Hong Qiming's appearance, the chairman's eyes showed some doubts.
In his impression, Hong Qiming has never lost his composure like this before!
"Chairman! Good news! Good news!"
Hong Qiming shouted loudly: "Just now, Fang Xu sent a message that the small fusion reactor project has been successful!"
The councillor's body shook violently!
Before he could fully react, Hong Qiming blurted out the second sentence: "Not only that, Professor Lu has successfully developed the first generation of Hall thrusters!"
Now, even the Speaker of the House of Representatives couldn't hold back!
"What!"
"So soon!?"
Councillor Li stood up from his chair and looked at Hong Qiming excitedly: "When will the experiment start?!"
Hong Qiming swallowed slightly and said, "The military is currently transporting a small fusion reactor to the Aerospace Research Institute."
"I guess... in two hours, Professor Lu will start the first experiment!"
…
The entrance to a highway in Xia State.
"What's going on... Why is the highway closed for no reason?"
In a Haval car, a man frowned and looked forward: "Did there happen to be a car accident?"
Next to the man was a gentle woman with long hair.
The woman rolled down the window and looked forward: "It shouldn't be a car accident."
"There's not a single car on the highway. It should just be the entrance that's closed."
Hearing this, the man's eyes flashed with anxiety.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" The woman's expression changed slightly, and she quickly reminded loudly, "This is a highway, don't mess around!"
The man paused for a moment, then turned to look at the woman helplessly: "I'll go to the toll booth to ask about the situation and will be back soon."
A few minutes later.
The man walked up to the highway toll booth window.
Looking at the staff inside, the man hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Hey, buddy, what's the situation with this highway?"
"What happened in there?"
Hearing the man's voice, the staff member looked up and glanced at the man, then shook his head helplessly: "I don't know either."
"I just received an order from my superiors that this section of the highway will be closed for half an hour."
The man nodded thoughtfully.
Order from superior?
Could it be transporting some important supplies? !
The next moment, a burst of sirens and roars attracted the man's attention.
The man quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
The next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank!
In the sky, five armed helicopters roared past!
He could even see the air-to-ground missiles hanging from the ground beneath the attack helicopters!
At the same time, three police cars with sirens blaring appeared in his sight.
Three police cars lined up in a V-shape to clear the way, and six military vehicles painted army green followed closely behind!
There are also several heavy machine guns with cold light mounted on the roof of the military vehicle!
In the center of the military convoy was a heavy truck.
With 5.0 vision in both eyes, the man could barely see what was loaded on the heavy truck.
A cylindrical object that is completely dark black.
While the toll booth staff wasn't paying attention, he quickly took out his cell phone and took a picture of the truck.
…
"What's going on?"
Seeing the man's hurried look, the gentle woman frowned slightly and asked softly: "Did the staff say anything about the reason?"
There was some excitement in the man's eyes. He put his hand in front of his mouth and made a hushing gesture.
The woman's expression suddenly froze.
Although she didn't know what happened, she shut her mouth immediately.
The man jumped into the car quickly.
After closing the car door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After easing his nervous mood, he said to the woman mysteriously, "You will never guess what happened!"
"What's going on?" The woman frowned even deeper.
"The country is transporting military supplies!" the man said as he took out his cell phone from his pocket and showed the photos he had taken.
"See? Police cars are leading the way, and military vehicles are escorting!"
"This is definitely the transportation of military supplies!"
Seeing the man's confident look, the woman leaned over with a suspicious look on her face and took a look at the photo on her phone.
A cylindrical object with a dark black color.
"What…what is this?"
The man frowned and shook his head slowly: "I don't know either..."
"What new type of weapon could it be?"
As he spoke, the man opened his cell phone.
"Hey! Don't spread this photo around!" The woman's face changed slightly and her voice became shrill.
The man ignored the woman's words and just stared blankly at the phone screen.
"I don't need to upload it, the official has already come out to refute the rumor..."
As the man spoke, he held the phone in front of the woman.
The woman subconsciously looked at the phone screen.
The latest Weibo from Xiaguo News official account.
"Urgent rumor refutation!"
"Today, many highways in Xia Country were closed. Rumor has it that this was to transport military supplies."
"Xiaguo News hereby dispels the rumor. This is not military material!"
"The photo of the dark cylindrical object that appeared on the Internet is the latest small fusion reactor prototype developed by Xia Country, not the so-called military material!"
The woman subconsciously took the phone and stretched out her finger to the comment section below the scarf.
"Fuck you!"
"I would like to call it the most hardcore rumor-busting in history!"
"Zhao, you might as well say it's military supplies! Is there anyone who can dispel rumors like you?"
"What did I say? The traditional art of the rabbit has been revived!"
"Hahaha! I sympathize with the Western countries for a second. They just bought the first generation of technology, and in the blink of an eye, Xia Country has taken out a second generation prototype."
"Are you sure it's a prototype? Why does it look like a finished product to me?"
"Don't believe in rumors or spread them. If the official says it's a prototype, then it is a prototype!"
"Rabbit: Guess if I still have the third generation product?"
…
Xiaguo National Space Research Institute.
The basic principle and structure of the Hall thruster are not very difficult, and can even be said to be quite simple.
The main factors limiting its effectiveness are power and loss issues.
Therefore, after Lu Yongchang solved the two major problems, the research progress bar of the Hall thruster instantly advanced a lot!
With the strong cooperation of Cao Liangcai and a group of top engineers, the prototype of the first generation of Hall thruster appeared before everyone in just over ten days.
